Bad news for anyone who was looking forward to watching the Charlie Brown holiday specials on national television this year.Airings of “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” have been cancelled on public television as a result of a deal made with Wildbrain Studios, Peanuts Worldwide, and Lee Mendelson Film Productions. This deal moves all of these beloved TV specials over to Apple TV. The entire deal may come as a shock, considering how the Peanuts specials have been airing since 1965. However 2020 has not taken yet another thing away, and fans are still able to get their annual dose of Charlie Brown and friends’ holiday cynicism and classic morals free for a limited time. By simply downloading Apple TV on a smart device, you can watch the holiday specials within a time frame without making a subscription (or pledging to make one) to Apple TV. The time frames for each free holiday special have been listed below:
“It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”Oct. 30 – Nov. 1
